After parking our car in a storage building where it will stay out of the weather for the next six weeks we headed out around 11AM for our first Canadian stop in
Blind River, Ontario. We will stay there only one night and head out for some anchoring before reaching the hub of the North Channel at Little Current, ON some time around July 6th.
After a windy but peaceful and sunny day (finally) we arrived in Blind River about 4:30 and immediately headed for the cash machine and grocery store to stock up on some perishables before heading out for three days of anchoring. It was fun seeing some old acquaintenances in the marina and dining in the newly reopened marina cafe. The current owners offer a good menu of locally caught whitefish which we tried and loved. In addition, I had my first taste (this year) of poutine (french fries w/gravy and cheese curds) to go along with the fish. If you have not tried it you don't know what you are missing. They actually offer this in the Costco snack bar in Canada.

We will be off the net for a few days starting 6/30 so we'll catch you up when we arrive at the next wireless hotspot.
